At the risk of sounding like a hipster, The original version of this track was/is so much more amazing than the poppy version that showed up on the album. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this version. I don't think there is another song out there that is as raw and beautiful as this. I heart you, Ray! <3333

@LAPNOT Thank you, but no need. I think a lot of us are interested in what he has to say.

I've been trying to learn this version for close to two months and have gotten nowhere :(

@cassawcreative I agree! me and my fiance are getting married next year and this is going to be our first dance, well the album version!

It's such a shame that this song carries a negative tone for Ray. This is the song that brought my now fiancee and I together. The first time I heard it I emailed her the lyrics and told her this is exactly how I felt and our wedding is in 90 days. Ray is a HUGE part of our relationship.

This version is so much better

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for this video! I have been looking for a good recording of this. I saw him front row in Birmingham, AL and when he did this version of this song, it brought tears to my eyes. SO much better than the album version!

He's wearing a cowboy hat, I'm thinking George Strait! you just got to be flexible man, bending a lot.
